Up on the hill overlooking the bay, Casa Coco greeted me with her warm and Joyful colors
It was a joy for the senses and for the soul.
Felipe and Yanet, the household staff, helped us with the heavy weights, and we found new energy in Casa Coco's peaceful surroundings.
Although we went in March, the dry season, there were many flowers to brighten the garden surrounding the house.
A great stay with trips on the boat to the Botanical Garden and the Nature Reserve Islands.

a week at coco cabana (and casa coco) was like spending a month at home
the large and beautifully furnished and appointed house, up on a hill, overlooking the harbor
was peaceful and quite. the most noise was birds gently waking us up in the morning
nights were beautiful and you could see so many stars (we are from nyc)
there are no roads or cars in yelapa, and all of the walking around got me in better shape than we started)
so did the swimming everyday at the nearby beach, and the yoga lessons in town on a balcony overlooking the water)
back to the house!
coco cabana was like living outside
the weather was perfect and the huge terrace just outside the house invited us to be there to read, relax, look at the scenery and snooze
the house is surrounded by endless plants, flowers, trees, including a banana tree over the path, with bananas hanging up (bananas grow up!). too bad they were not ripe yet :(
we can't say enough about how terrific the house, town, and local people were
although we have traveled around the world (my girlfriend is from milan italy) and i was a peace corps volunteer in west africa in the 60's, we had never been to mexico
i have to say that i was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the mexicans were, how beautiful the country is in this area, and how safe we felt
we never locked up the house, and usually forgot to lock up our valuables in the safe provided
i think i've covered it all
we look forward to going back there again, probably time with another couple, or some family
we would have to rate coco cabana a 6 star rental

Casa coco is a place dreams are made of. It is removed from the tourist traps of Puerto Vallarta where we spent a few days on either side of our visit to Yelapa and it offers a great place to relax with friends.
Far more positives than negatives, but I want to be realistic. Yelapa is not the place for everyone, but it is definitely the place for me!
Positives:
Stars
Felipe and Yanet
Yanet's cooking (highly recommended)
people of Yelapa
quietness
food
hike up above the waterfall (sketchy but fun!)
relaxing on the beach
that it is not PV.
stairs going to Casa Coco made sure to keep us unplumped.
Negatives
Scorpions (But hey, we're in a jungle, right?)
Coutis trying to get into fridge (we mainly stayed up too late most nights for them to bother us :D)
during a storm the path to the town was overcome by waves, be careful going to town during a wavy day.
